Shonky* Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 (edited) The ACMA released the channel numbers for Mt Isa and central Queensland repeaters today. Digging up an old thread (found by Google since the board couldn't find "Isa" in anything for some reason). Any ideas when Imparja and Prime will start transmitting in Mt Isa? Found this (again via google) which points towards nowish... http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?showtopic=42272 Edited November 29, 2007 by Shonky*

RooBoy73 Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Best to ask the stations themselves, or check http://www.dba.org.au Strangely enough I actually asked Imparja this exact question Tuesday. I haven't contacted 7 as they only provide a phone number for Townsville . The response from Imparja was as follows (edited slightly): "Unfortunately I can't give you a date at this stage. The current frequency assignments are draft and are currently being reviewed/revised by the broadcasters. Also the arrangements by which self help operators will be funded/serviced with digital signals is not yet defined. We also need to finalise how existing Aurora satellite viewers will be provided with on-going access to services. (Satellite viewers are completely outside the scope of the analogue to digital process) I would guess that it will be at least 12 months before we get digital signals to the "Big 3" of Alice, Mount Isa and Katherine, and at least 2 years ore before we get full digital coverage from our own (29) transmitter sites. How long (and indeed whether and if so how many) the 250 self helps take to convert to digital is at this stage totally unknown. Like you, we are frustrated by the lack of definition of how it's all going to work, but at the moment the above is the best I can do."
alanh Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 All, Read Get the Best Reception, Regional Queensland and read the Qld links. Near the end of the list is inland North Queensland. Mt Isa is listed there. All the remote areas of Australia are waiting for the outcome of an enquiry by the Department of Communications, IT and the Arts into digitising remote area TV. AlanH
RooBoy73 Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 There may be some activity in regards to Imparja. It seems they were issued a license on the 1st of April. http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/licence_...ENCE_NO=1565640 According to the listing it is a narrowcast service, which in itself raises a few questions. Still nothing from Seven Central, er, Southerncross Seven, er, whatever they want to call themselves this week.

RooBoy73 Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 That's an analogue broadcast license. Not a Digital broadcast License. Indeed, in fact just for those in the area, they have begun transmitting NITV. But as I said, it still raises some questions. Why get a narrowcast license? Why spend the money on a new analogue transmitter?
